Shining Ark Has More Than One Opening Movie, Let’s Watch Version A

Shining Ark tells the story of an island-dwelling boy who finds a one winged angel on a beach. (Insert Sephiroth joke here.) Sega calls Shining Ark an adventure and fantasy life RPG because players can spend time baking bread or watering vegetables.

The opening movie is version A so we’re guessing there is at least version B. Nana Mizuki who was Colette in Tales of Symphonia sings the game’s theme song, Melodia Miracle.

It would be glorious if we could get another PSP JRPG localized. Don’t let the platform die just yet! Also, two OPs? That’s certainly generous…

I thought the PSP was dead for years?

Godmars

Only in the US. Which is why we’ll likely ever see it.

PSP hasn’t been dead for ‘years’ in NA either. Not with a bajillion releases all the time, but it got good games releasing consistantly for awhile. Mostly from Japanese RPG makers. And we’ve gotten a good few digital only this year, and three releases at retail.

Godmars

But its pretty much gotten nothing but bad press from US game “Journalist” in particular.

Much the same way the Vita gets tons of negative press based more on opinion rather than facts.

Elvick

That’s because most of the support was Japanese, and most media don’t like the bulk of Japanese design choices. Yet review games they know they have no interest in anyway, and if people were to reach said reviews that would be clear.

But most just skip to the review SCORE and then hate on the game for sucking because someone didn’t like it. :/

No, no, I’m saying that if I were the PSP right now, I’d be saying “do not let me die.” Except with the Vita around, I’d be doing it in Latin. You know, ne me mori facias.

And then I guess I’d just suddenly yell the word “Sephiroth”.

Sorry, this joke was pretty stupid.

FFmax

How am I supposed take this game seriously if they just keep flashing tits everywhere? That’s really unnecessary. I hope second opening is a bit better.

Trotmeister

At first I was surprised by the amount of shameless fan service, but then I realized this is Tony Taka’s game.

MrSirFeatherFang

Anyone know who is composing the music for this game? The A and B OP thing was in Shining Hearts as well, but I didn’t hear the Shining Blade OST.
Tony Taka ftw

Luna Kazemaru

Its always funny watching the comments where people cry about fanservice after…I honestly forgot how long now But heeey not much of a shining fan but that’s just me. Also 3 is alot now I see
